Whether you are a tourist hoping to get two cities into one visit or a commuter looking for a way to get to your new job, it's relatively easy to get from Baltimore to Washington DC, without a fuss. Allowing yourself enough time and being aware of transportation options makes travelling to Washington DC a breeze.

Steps

1

Allow yourself plenty of time to get where you are going. Delays are quite common, especially during rush hours.

2

If you're trying to get to Washington on any day of the week, including weekends, the MARC (Maryland Area Regional Commuter) train service is usually the cheapest, most convenient option. MARC trains run on three lines, Brunswick, Camden, and Penn. The Camden line takes you directly between Baltimore, MD and Washington D.C.

MARC trains used to only operate Monday through Friday; but as of December 2013, MARC trains now offer weekend service, as well. Weekend service is currently available on the Penn Line only.
